U' Parts Sanriku....

So I took a friend over to U' Parts to get his fenders rolled and some tires/wheels mounted/installed. Figured I'd take a few pics since I hadn't posted about the shop in a while. Small tuning shop in Nambu, Yokohama. Specialize in older domestic (japan) cars. Ida-san's car's have been in Carboy and Drift Tengoku. Cool thing about his shop is he rents it out at hourly wages. Something I haven't seen anywhere else in Japan (or in the states for that matter - unless you count the Base Auto Hobby shop in both cases). I did a clutch install on my Mark II there a while back. Anyway heres some pics of the what you see on any given day stopping by the shop.

More GRS190 love....

Been looking hard at GS's. I hope there is someone local to me w/ a AWD one lowered so I can see how it drives. I don't know how long I'll be able to stomach driving a car thats 4 by 4 status and not fitted :/.... anyway enough whining... some pics I stole off the web

The Cresta is on her way....

Well the Cresta is gonna be paid for here very soon, so I started the part out process. I pulled my Defis, Bride Gias, and the Wheels (which are still for sale). Car is going to a good home. It will see lots of action. Didn't get to drive it as much as I wanted but it did see SOME action. The parts I pulled will go in whatever car I get next (probably a mx83). Of course I'll document it on here.... Don't mind the tensioner pulley holding up the lip haha....
